Royal Mail scam warning: Two scams Britons are urged to watch out for

Scam Two

The second scam, which has so far been reported by 1,700 people to Action Fraud, is an email claiming that a parcel has not been delivered.

Scammers have been sending an email informing people that their “package” will be returned to its sender if they do not fill in a form with their personal details.

The details they are asking for include your card number, security code, sort code, account number, and your mother’s maiden name.

Action Fraud wrote in a tweet: “Watch out for these fake Royal Mail emails. They’ve been reported to us over 1,700 times. Help us remove malicious emails and websites like these by forwarding suspicious emails to: report@phishing.gov.uk.”
